The cost of gasoline is falling now. I paid $3.77 a gallon just today. I do not think there is going ot be a major cutback in quiz bowl activity this year. I believe the Wu Jintao was hoarding gasoline for stuff relating to the Olympics so they wouldn't have much of a problem with any logistics...i...

An acquaintance of mine from this board told me if you are right and you compromise to make a change, you still end up wrong. This is all I have to say here. I won't argue with there; my ideas were thrown out hopefully to "ease" the computation problem, not utterly destroy it (although Id...

Unfortunately our team is undergoing a succession crisis...its kind of complicated, and ive brought it up with our current coach many times and she's way too busy to even approve it; i can't say i blame her, without any specifics its unbelievable she has time to coach us...

Ben K was in my prelim room for history. He got third and didn't advance... It was really close though He basically quit the team for May and June with the intention of mastering history over the summer and coming back next season.

I remember a tossup in the HSNCT this year that mentioned something about cyclic polynomials, and the probability that a polynomial is cyclic. I believe that questions like those need to be seen in more frequency if math comp is going to be included in the spectra of quizbowl, because 1.) its imposs...

I would like to also add that this thread has spread into the Ohio realm as well. Originally I was just going to travel to other states to play Quizbowl, but reading this thread and especially John Barnes comments about Charlie and Missouri have made me decide to square off against the OAC problem. ...

Hi, this is Ike from Stow. Since I've seen my name popping up I guess I should start visiting here a bit more often. I've posted here before on a different name (or names) been a few months, and figured I'd establish myself. I mean, there's an outside chance, considering that he traveled to Pittsbur...
